[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easiest hook is simple being the top of your class.  [b]Even the worst inner city and back country rural schools send 1 student to Harvard per year. [/b] Look at the polaislist.com , which bases its data on Harvard yearbooks.  However, when DCMoms hear that their DC needs to be at the top of the class, they claim that that is so unfair.[/quote]

What?

There are 20,000 high schools in America, and last year Harvard took a little more than 2,000 students.  The average American high school sends 1 student to Harvard every 10 years.  Many high schools go longer than that without sending anyone.

MoCo publics (nothing special) send 2 to Harvard per year.  Not easy, but certainly not "impossible."[/quote]

Why are you lying?

MoCo publics collectively sent SIX (6) students to Harvard last year. That’s 6 students out of over 300 applicants across MoCo publics. GDS alone sent 6 students to Harvard in 2024.

Private school parents whine all the time that their kid should have gone to public school, because it's so "easy" to get in from there. But even if 5 of the 6 kids that went to Harvard from GDS were "hooked" and none of the ones from MCPS were (almost certainly not true) that still means that the average kid from GDS is 16 times as likely to get in as the average kid from MCPS.
